Faux Metal Tags

Hi everyone!

Just recently I did a demo on how to create FAUX Metal Tags! The girls were quite impressed … so I thought I might put a tutorial on my blog to share this technique with you all.

StazOn ink, Vellum card, Metallic card

Repeat if your design requires more tags

Cardstock used for this card

Snip dimensionals to fit narrow frame & stick onto back

Tags set onto scallops – finished card

Another faux tag card

Idea: punch a hole & dangle on a piece of cord

Stamp image on vellum

Colour as you like – I have used crayons

Punch vellum with 1 3/8″ circle punch

Punch metallic with 1 1/4″ circle punch

Centre 1 3/8″ punch around punched circle & punch again

Stick vellum image to metallic ring with 2-way glue pen

I stuck image so colour was on back

Finished Tag

Tags set onto scallops - finished card

I hope you have enjoyed this one … a little “long-winded” … but … hey … I just love sharing! 😀 Here is the final card I made with the tags.

These tags make great accents for very little cost! Don’t buy tags … make your own! You could also do the same technique using white card rather than vellum. I just like the “sheer” look of the vellum.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
